View Full Version : Hi, just joined!!!
Hi everyone found the sight on line when i was looking up where me and my OH are moving to! Hes been in the RAF 5 years and weve been together 2 yrs.Im just wondering how you all cope with postings? We have lived together 4 over a year and both travelled to work but this new posting is too far so we are thinkin he might move onto base and travel home fri-sun. Am i being selfish for not wanting to leave my job? Do you think you can have a career and still be a RAF WAG??!!! Would love to know youre thoughts!!!
Hi and wellcome to wags. No yr not being sellfish at all my oh wants us to move on 2 a base he's in the ta at the moment but is joining the regs 4 good when he comes back from afghan nxt year i would rather stay here at home and just let him do his thing rather than up rooting me and the kids and i love my job to much to leave it and besides im to much of a home bird i think i would miss all my family and mates to much.Just have a long hard think and do whats right 4 u chick let us know how u get on.Take care.XxXx
Hello welcome to wags!! If you think your selfish I most be LOL Im married to a soldier we have been together 8years I dont live on camp as I love my job and know I would struggle to find the same job anywhere else. Hubbi lives in single accomodation Monday to Friday then drives the 250miles for the weekend!!
We find it works really well but it just puts a big dint in our bank balance due to the cost of petrol and the amount he uses. I personal would not change the way in which we have chosen to live our married life we are both very happy and lee would never want me to do something im not happy with! Where he is based at the moment he is away alot so id be on camp alone and i couldnt cope with that i need to have my family and friends close!
I think as a couple you have to think about what will make you BOTH happy then go from there!
Thanks, i was starting to feel like the worst girlfriend in the world! I do love my job and have worked really hard to get to where i am, he has been great and said he wants me to do what makes me happy, im also worried i might end up resenting him if i cant find a job i enjoy as much and move from from friends and faimly and i really dont want that either, i feel like its a no win situation, its good to know it works for other people!!!! Thanks
Your not a bad girlfriend at all you also have a right to a career, just cause your with someone in the forces shouldnt stop you!!
Minnie,
Hi i am the same as you!! My OH is in the RAF and about to start a posting which will see him moving away from me. I have just got a lovely new job which i love and so i am staying here and we will see each other at the weekends and during leave.
For me, my career is massively important and Tim knows that so we have agreed that we will do the weekend thing. The only time that will change is if he ever marries me, and we have kids, then i'd move to be with him, just cos i know I'd need the help!!!
I think having a career is really important as they are away so often, its important for us to have things to keep us busy when they are not here!!!
Welcome to the wonderful world of WAGs !! xxxx
Welcome to WAGs Minnie. Look forward to chatting to you :) xx
Thanks i was starting to think i was the only one! Yeah i know when we get married and want kids we will have to look at it again but for know i just hope we are doing the right thing! Glad i signed up!!
